The deal, which was announced at the gathering of channel partners in Dubai at GITEX TECHNOLOGY WEEK 2012, is part of the vendor’s plan to solidify and enhance its existing enterprise portfolio.

Dong Wu, vice president, Huawei Enterprise Middle East, said: “As Huawei grows, we rely on our family of channel partners to provide extensive support to customers. Our partners have to truly understand what it is that we are trying to achieve with our products and solutions, which have a transformative effect on organisations and help them deploy ICT to overcome whatever business challenges they face. The technical support Mindware provides will be vital in the early stages for customers, especially when they are opting for a combination of products or support across multiple levels of their organisation. The partnership adds a significant string to our bow in the MENA region, and I expect great success from this collaboration.”

Mario Gay, managing director of Mindware, added: “Huawei has been a long-term partner of Mindware through our work with Huawei-Symantec, and we have watched the company closely over the past 10 years as it gained global success in the carrier market. Its recent entrance to the enterprise market has seen rapid success, and we believe that Huawei’s focus on only delivering the best in terms of technology innovation and customer service is a good match for our own business ethos. We look forward to a successful partnership together.”
